# Committee of the Whole Meeting - September 23, 2026

The Cape Coral City Council held a Committee of the Whole meeting on September 23, 2026, focusing heavily on public input regarding the redevelopment of the Cape Coral Yacht Club and related public-private partnership (P3) proposals. Citizens expressed concerns about the scale, commercial nature, and potential impacts of the proposed developments, including a $250 million project featuring a hotel, parking garage, and townhomes. The council discussed two unsolicited P3 proposals, comparing their scope, financial structures, and alignment with the city's original vision for the yacht club redevelopment. The KMBB proposal was favored by most council members for being closer to the city's vision, despite concerns about the hotel component. The council emphasized the need for further negotiation and detailed financial analysis before making a final decision. Additionally, the meeting included a presentation on the South Cape Community Center's programs and operations, highlighting its role in serving diverse community needs. No contracts were awarded during the meeting, but the council directed staff to proceed with negotiations on the preferred P3 proposal, signaling potential future procurement activity related to the yacht club redevelopment.
